Rich was always responsive, however the condo was not clean. Light fixtures were dirty. Counter tops had not been cleaned, cup stains were present. No vacuum for the sand. There was hair in the bed. Three outlets did not work, including the ones in both bathrooms. Vents were very dirty.

Cozy Condo
This was an awesome place to stay. We loved the outdoor seating area and getting to hang out every single night on the back porch. Truly a great place!

Friends Beach Trip
It was the perfect location with the perfect amount of room. Rich was wonderful to work with. We will be back!
The huge swing on the porch was amazing. We did our devotional in the morning out there and then relaxed and talked at night in the same spot. The walk to the beach is the shortest I have ever stayed at. The parking very close to the front door is awesome. Short distance to all our favorite places to eat. Super pleased!!

A Must Stay!
The Swing by the Sea is the perfect place to take your family for a beach getaway. The location, the close proximity to the beach, the beachy decor, the wonderful swing and beautifully decorated balcony with lots of other comfortable seating options, the extra comfy beds, even the bathrooms were gorgeous, and I could go on and on. Aside from all of that, our host Rich, was so personable and attentive. This place is nothing short of fabulous, a real gem! This was our first time visiting Gulf Shores (we usually stay in Pensacola). We will definitely be back and will
undoubtedly stay at this property when we return.
